Description from the seller

This stunning “adjustable silver-plated wine bottle holder(also functions as a decorative vase, cooler, or caddy) is a rare and elegant vintage piece from the renowned Italian maker “Vera Lucino”(marked "Vera Lucino" purchased in Liguria, the heart of Italian wine country.

Crafted in the classic mid-20th century style (likely 1950s–1970s), it boasts exquisite high-relief detailing with a bountiful grapevine and harvest motif: clusters of grapes, twisting vines, lush leaves, and openwork foliage that beautifully frame and showcase the bottle. The large, branch-like handle adds rustic charm and easy handling.

A standout feature is the “adjustable neck ring” (removable/adjustable collar with a twig-like design), allowing it to securely fit various bottle heights and sizes—ideal for standard 750ml wine bottles or even taller ones. The set includes the main holder plus the separate adjustable ring and a small securing pin/component.

Material: High-quality silver-plated metal (pressed and plated, typical of Vera Lucino's ornate Italian metalware—known for trinket boxes, vases, and wine accessories with intricate designs)

Design: Opulent naturalistic theme celebrating Italian viticulture; open lattice structure for visual appeal and light play

Dimensions: 15 x 9.5 x 22 cm - substantial and eye-catching presence

Weight: 793 grams — solid and well-made

Marks: "Vera Lucino"(with the registered symbol)

Condition: Very good vintage condition with rich silver patina; minor natural age-related tarnish/wear expected on silver plate; includes all original adjustable parts

Perfect for wine collectors, barware enthusiasts, or as a sophisticated table centerpiece—whether holding a cherished bottle during dinner or displayed empty as sculptural art. Vera Lucino pieces are sought after for their detailed craftsmanship and mid-century Italian elegance, appearing in vintage markets alongside similar wine coolers and decorative vessels.

A unique, functional collectible straight from Italy's wine region—ready to elevate any oenophile's setup or make a memorable gift!

Shipment: Will be packed with special care.
